STEPH Davis has already injured her hand and her knee while rehearsing for Dancing On Ice following nasty accidents.

The Hollyoaks actress, 39, said she was "nervous" about taking part in the ITV show because of her lack of skating experience - and has now revealed had her hand strapped up and has "fluid in her knee" after falling.

Stephanie Davis has ended up crocked in rehearsals for Dancing On Ice with pro partner Sylvan Longchambon

Steph, known for her role as Cindy Cunningham in Hollyoaks, has been partnered with Sylvain Longchambon for the series.

But working with the pro - who is married to the actress Samia Gamdie from Corrie - has not prevented her having two very painful tumbles.

She told The Sun: "I’ve hurt my hand but it’s not serious and it’s out of strap now.

"And my knees a bit swollen, I’ve got a bit of fluid in my knee."

Mum-of-two Steph also said she is falling over more and more as training progresses and the start date for the show draws closer.

She said: "I’m falling over more as the weeks are going by and I’m not sure if that’s because I’m pushing myself harder and doing more technical things...

"I wanted to do it so bad. I’m not a skater or a dancer so I forget when we do the routines... I’m forgetting about my body and what my face is doing."

The telly star, who says she's been watching clips of former contestant Jorgie Porter ice skating to help train, added that she's worried she won't be able to marry acting with technical ability.

She said: "I feel like I’m the worst actress in the world as well because you perform the routines but I’m concentrating so much on the technical side of the routine and not falling over that you really have to think now I have to put a performance on top of it as well."
